Utilized by businesses around the globe, TimeForge is the leading provider of sales-driven employee scheduling software and integrated labor management solutions for the grocery industry.

ProfitTrax, a longtime partner of Woods Supermarket and a best-in-class profit improvement solution, is responsible for bringing TimeForge and Woods Supermarket together.

“At ProfitTrax, our mission is to help retailers to grow their sales, reduce store shrink loss and improve workforce productivity to grow gross margins and profit,” said Larry Miller, President of ProfitTrax. “By partnering with TimeForge, we add one more solution to help us to live our mission and help our retailer partners. Our team worked with TimeForge to present their solutions to Woods Supermarket. TimeForge did an excellent, professional job of managing the initial steps of the pilot period.”

Doug Haworth, Vice President of Operations at Woods Supermarket, added, “We consider the team at ProfitTrax our profit improvement partners and trusted advisors, so when they recommended TimeForge for Time and Attendance and Scheduling, we were happy to listen. TimeForge proved to be a very feature-rich cost-saving solution, and their team is great to work with. After a successful pilot, we are rolling out TimeForge to all stores.”

In addition to TimeForge’s award-winning scheduling and timekeeping software, Woods Supermarket is also utilizing TimeForge’s retail-hardened timeclocks for fast, secure employee clock-ins at each store. The timeclocks prevent time and wage theft through cutting-edge biometrics and schedule enforcement.

“We’re truly grateful for the opportunity to serve Woods Supermarket alongside ProfitTrax,” said Audrey Hogan, Chief Operating Officer of TimeForge. “TimeForge and ProfitTrax each offer significant ROI on their own, but together we are greater than the sum of our parts; we're a powerful expense reduction and profit improvement team. I’m excited to see Woods harness the power of this partnership for improved margin.”
